I think if we could externalize the benefits of unions such that they don't protect the willfully lazy and don't hinder the brilliant, that might be the best of both worlds.

Not sure that's generally true; a perfectly benevolent, non-omniscient dictator could be quite bad.
Not that "perfectly benevolent dictator" is a real option as a long-term form of government.

Jesus may have been perfectly benevolent, but isn't much of an example of benevolent dictatorship as a better form of government.
